I first met Laura when we were both presenting at the Blogtacular conference a couple of years back, shortly after the publication of her first book. Since then she’s written a second, follow-up memoir and taught the secrets of her storytelling magic at workshops, classes and courses online.

She writes with spellbinding beauty across multiple platforms, including the most exquisitely crafted instagram captions, so I called her up to dig into some of her secrets, and get the lowdown on her journey so far.

And in case the opening quote above wasn’t enough of a heads up – a warning for occasional adult language in this episode too.

“I want to be around people that do things. I don’t want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people that dream and support and do things.”– Amy Poehler
